Joanna Goddard Adam Roberts dinner party

Joanna Goddard Adam Roberts dinner party

A pair weeks in the past, Freddie and I went to our pal Adam’s home for dinner…

Adam made scrumptious pasta with beans and tomatoes.

We drank wine and chatted about films and books and youngsters.

And Adam’s canine Winston appeared very candy among the many chaos.

However the very best half? After we completed dinner, Adam pulled heat chocolate chip cookies out of the oven!!! “I make this dough the day earlier than,” he informed me. “Then I scoop spoonfuls onto a parchment-lined sheet, flatten them, sprinkle with sea salt, and hold within the fridge in a single day. Whereas I’m serving dinner, I pre-heat the oven to 350 levels and pop them in. After about quarter-hour, I take them out and serve them heat.”

How scrumptious is that? Freshly baked cookies felt so particular, like we have been little children once more. “You simply eat them and really feel completely satisfied,” says Adam, and he’s completely proper.

What do you prefer to serve for dessert? Any favourite cookie recipes? Additionally, Adam and I will probably be speaking on stage about his fantastic new novel, Meals Individual, on Could twentieth on the Brooklyn Public Library — please be a part of us!

P.S. Three strategic starters for a cocktail party, the very best host present, and a humorous dialog starter.
